Ok so the mysterious G-man comes up to you and offers you two choices.


1. Save a dying person passed out on the side of the road somewhere.

OR

2. Take $100 million.

If you save the person, he/she will return to great health and start a happy family and become one of your closest/best friends.

If you take the money, he/she will die.

I´ll take the $100 million in a heartbeat.

EDIT:

In retrospect... No, i wouldn´t take the $100 million. I´d rush to the dying person. I wouldn´t act as rational as my initial comment suggests, i would act out of emotion, and my emotions dictates me trying to save a persons life

I'd take the $100 million. With that amount of money I would save hundreds, if not thousands of lives.

Unless it was a member of my family or already a good friend I would take the money. It might sound selfish but papa needs a new everything.

:lol: Yeah we've seen this thread a lot lately but this one seems more planned out as it's a good person who will actually be grateful not just some random guy.

I'ld save them, if they're a good person then they're worth way more than 100mil. If they're such a good freind i suspect they may give me a reward or at least some awesome Xmas/Bday presents considering they have 100mil. Even better if it's a she and she grows up and makes a happy family with me :)

if the dying person is a stranger then i'll take the $100 million. since i'm not the cause of his death i don't think i'll feel guilty. i would see it similar to asked me to donate all my money to save a stranger.

That is a bit different. First...the money wouldn't go to where it's needed. Second I assume he's talking about someone in your location. So yes...it's immoral...just not illegal. But that is two different things....

Depends if i actually care about the person. If i don't, a 100 million is a lot of money that could both enrich you and give you the opportunity to save a lot of other lives. Unless it is someone you know, the logical solution is to take the money and do good for more people.

/Thread.

Jamiemydearx3

correct, which is why I would take teh money.

keep one million in one bank, the other 99mil in another

in a bank with 5% interest, and does it quater anually, one million is 200,000. thats enough to live very comfortably, and I would put what isnt spent into teh other account. 99million in a similar bank is 19.8million every year. almost 20 million every year to go to charities and such. one person will die, maybe even a great and loved person. but I would save countless lives througout my live and after I die. 1 person means nothing against thousands or even millions in teh end. the people who are saving the one person because tehy will know them personally are just as bad in my book as teh people who would take the money and be greedy with it.

But if you could just let someone die like that I doubt you'd actually be compassionate enough to donate the money.

Why do the consequences matter to the action itself? If you are refraining from donating money for fear of it going to the warlords, without knowledge it WILL go the warlords, are you not making excuses for yourself? Likewise, if you refuse to try to save someone merely because it seems likely you will fail, are you not just as culpable were you to decide not to altogether? A truly moral person ought to act regardless of the consequences of their actions.

Prove to me, beyond a reasonable doubt, that if you were to donate money now that it would not go to the people you are trying to help. I want evidence that every last agency who does aid and every last country of which you may donate to will end up taking the money. Go on, prove it to me.

$100,000,000. And it wouldn't even be close. I could do a lot of good with $100,000,000. But most likely I'd take it, then horde it just so people would get all upset and annoyed.

only enough till they leave and die of unresolved issues later. but this is getting off track. the point is that right now you can save ppl if you wanted. we just choose not to. with 100million i'm sure more of us would choose to.
